BACKGROUND

Electronic equipments using semiconductor devices are essential for many modern applications. With the advancement of electronic technology, the semiconductor devices are becoming increasingly smaller in size while having greater functionality and greater amounts of integrated circuitry. Due to the miniaturized scale of the semiconductor device, a chip on wafer (CoW) is widely used to integrate several chips into a single semiconductor device. During the CoW operation, a number of chips are assembled on a single semiconductor device. Furthermore, numerous manufacturing operations are implemented within such a small semiconductor device.

However, the manufacturing operations of the semiconductor device involve many steps and operations on such a small and thin semiconductor device. The manufacturing of the semiconductor device in a miniaturized scale becomes more complicated. An increase in a complexity of manufacturing the semiconductor device may cause deficiencies such as poor electrical interconnection, delamination of components, or other issues, resulting in a high yield loss of the semiconductor device and increase of manufacturing cost. As such, there are many challenges for modifying a structure of the semiconductor devices and improving the manufacturing operations.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DISCLOSURE

The following disclosure provides many different embodiments, or examples, for implementing different features of the provided subject matter. Specific examples of components and arrangements are described below to simplify the present disclosure. These are, of course, merely examples and are not intended to be limiting. For example, the formation of a first feature over or on a second feature in the description that follows may include embodiments in which the first and second features are formed in direct contact, and may also include embodiments in which additional features may be formed between the first and second features, such that the first and second features may not be in direct contact. In addition, the present disclosure may repeat reference numerals and/or letters in the various examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself dictate a relationship between the various embodiments and/or configurations discussed.

Further, spatially relative terms, such as “beneath,” “below,” “lower,” “above,” “upper” and the like, may be used herein for ease of description to describe one element or feature's relationship to another element(s) or feature(s) as illustrated in the figures. The spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. The apparatus may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein may likewise be interpreted accordingly.

In this document, the term “coupled” may also be termed as “electrically coupled”, and the term “connected” may be termed as “electrically connected”. “Coupled” and “connected” may also be used to indicate that two or more elements cooperate or interact with each other.

Other features and processes may also be included. For example, testing structures may be included to aid in the verification testing of the 3D packaging or 3DIC devices. The testing structures may include, for example, test pads formed in a redistribution layer or on a substrate that allows the testing of the 3D packaging or 3DIC, the use of probes and/or probe cards, and the like. The verification testing may be performed on intermediate structures as well as the final structure. Additionally, the structures and methods disclosed herein may be used in conjunction with testing methodologies that incorporate intermediate verification of known good dies to increase the yield and decrease costs.

A semiconductor structure is manufactured by a number of operations. During manufacturing of the semiconductor structure, semiconductor chips with different functionalities and dimensions are integrated into a single module. The semiconductor chips are disposed on a substrate or wafer, and a molding is formed to encapsulate the semiconductor chips, and then several connectors are disposed on the molding and the semiconductor chips to electrically connect the substrate and the semiconductor chips with external circuitry. The semiconductor chips and the substrate are electrically communicable with the external circuitry through several vias (e.g. through molding via (TMV), through integrated circuit via (TIV), etc.) formed within the molding. However, the semiconductor structure in such configuration has large form factor, large pitch between vias (e.g. greater than 200 um), and small I/O counts, which are undesirable and may not meet demand.

In the present disclosure, a semiconductor structure is disclosed. The semiconductor structure includes a substrate, a first die disposed on the substrate, a second die disposed on the substrate, several vias extended within the second die, a molding disposed on the substrate and surrounding the first die and the second die, an interconnect structure disposed over the molding, the first die and the second die, and a conductive bump disposed over the interconnect structure. The substrate and the first die are electrically connected with the RDL and the conductive bump through the vias. The vias in the second die can be configured in small pitch (e.g. less than 10 um) As such, a number of I/O terminals can be increased, an overall dimension of the semiconductor structure can be reduced or minimized, and electrical performance of the semiconductor structure can be enhanced.
